Hello to all W123 experts. I am looking for a new everyday car, forced, because my W202, due to several defects, whose repair does not pay off financially, will soon be shut down. The vehicle should be robust, reliable and (regular maintenance provided) durable (20 – 30 years), with manageable costs and easy maintenance. It would be ideal if the vehicle is already completely protected against rust (e.g. by “flooding” with MIKE Sander Since I like particularly “classic” Mercedes models, especially the W123, possibly also W124 and W201, I would like to know if the “rust problem” with the W123 can be managed somehow, so that I can possibly buy such a car without a bad conscience? I drive about 10km to the workplace (there I have a garage parking space), otherwise 10-20km to the city, rarely longer distances (up to 400km Gesa) At home, the vehicle would be standing outside, as I don’t own a garage or the like. I had visited a W123 once, which was treated with corrosion protection by Mike Sander until the stop, practically everywhere it could be “dangerous”. It looked like new and probably keeps “eternal”. But I have never seen such a car offered for sale … . I look forward to helpful answers!
